If you are uncertain on what goals to set, certificates are there to guide you. A certificate is a collection of skills, that together will

make you more competent in the particular field.

Open up the Character Sheet, and access the Certificate tab on the left side. Certificates you already have applied for, are listed on the

right side. If you have none, then proceed directly to the certificate planning window, by pressing the Open Certification Planner button on

top of the list.

The options available to you, are listed there, and will change what certificates are listed in the certificates tab. For now, select the option Only

show certificates I can claim now, if it is not already selected, and return to the certificates tab.

Under the certificates tab you will see a list of certificates that you can claim already based on your skills. You can navigate through the categories as

you wish. But for this tutorial, select the Starter Certificates category and select a certificate of your choice under the Basic category.

You should see, on the right side, a graphical representation of your certificate, which should be in the middle of the screen. On top of it, you can see the

skill and certificate requirements of the certificate you selected. Note that a certificate can require another certificate to be claimed in order to claim

another.

Below the selected certificate, you will see all sub-certificates. By pressing any of these certificates, you can navigate through the tree of certificates.

In all lists and in the tree view, you can see if you have completed the training for a certificate, although in this tutorial all conditions have been met,

once you browse through the certificates, you will run into skills and certificates that you have not met the required level of. These are represented with

a red cross, yellow circle and a green checkmark. Hover your mouse over these markings to get more information about them.

To claim a certificate right click on a certificate and press claim certificate, this will add it to your list of

certificates on the character sheet.

You now have claimed a certificate, and you can see it in your list of certificates in the character sheet.
